Due to its location on the shore of Lake Lucerne, within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne has long been a destination for tourists. Lucerne is the prettiest town in Switzerland. From the quaint bridges to the lovely Lake Lucerne and the Lion Memorial there are numerous fantastic sights to see for tourists and travellers heading through central Europe.
One of the city’s famous landmarks is the Chapel Bridge, a wooden bridge first erected in the fourteenth century. Events such as the Lucerne Festival, the Lucerne Blues Festival and the Blue Balls Festival attract music fans from all over the world. Other events with an international following include the Fumetto comics festival and the Rowing World Lucerne – not to mention one of Lucerne’s best-loved traditions: the Lucerne carnival.
